LOL what a fish take by that guy. Just because one team was successful with a method doesn't mean all teams have to do it to be successful.

Every game that Clemson played within single digits last year, the opposing team had less than 30 min TOP. Keeping Clemson's offense off the field is not the only way to cover against them.

He also showed his lack of knowledge by spouting off about Gus recruiting a pro style QB. Gus has had successful pro Style QBs before.

Love the situation Auburn is in. I'm on Auburn +7.5 and will be on ML once that gets posted at my book.

Anyone have insight on the Vandy/SC game? I saw someone taking the Under, but nothing about a side. At first glance, I can't see the average fan laying 3.5 with a perennial bottom dweller. This makes me think Vandy is the play.

He's generally a good capper at covers. However, he tends to cap games with his heart especially Alabama's big games. He predicted Bama vs Ohio State in 2015 would be similar to Bama vs ND in the NC game. He then predicted Bama would beat Clemson by +14 in the NC game earlier this year.

ou guys are complete degenerates. There's absolutely no way to cap preseason games. You're essentially blindfolded playing pin the tail on the spread


A common notion, but an incorrect one. Some coaches care more about preseason games than others. Maybe they do it for morale or get momentum going into the regular season.

Look at someone like Mike Shanahan. He always makes money for me in the preseason. I believe his winning precentage is around 70% with around 80 games. That is not a random stats.

Also, look at Mike Zimmer in Minnesota. He's 10-1 in preseason games. It's not an accident. I hope I don't jinx myself because I've been cashing on Minny +points and M/L this preseason. I think they are -4 vs SD this week.

Prescott's been so hot for Dallas. But Boykins isn't too bad either. But seems like public is on Dallas. G/L regardless.
